Abstract
An Epidmilogical Study of Health Outcome among Internal Migrants in Beijing, China
Highlights
There are huge disparities worldwide in access to mental health care, with disparities existing in low income countries and in developing countries like the United States
Interpretation: Suicide and poisoning rates were higher in rural districts, suggesting that living in densely populated areas may be protective
All-cause mortality, age-stratified mortality, and gender mortality were calculated for residents with Hukou and residents without Hukou
Summary
There are huge disparities worldwide in access to mental health care, with disparities existing in low income countries and in developing countries like the United States. Task shifting is an unconventional strategy to address the worldwide workforce crisis by expanding the workforce to include mid-level providers and non-professionals. In task-shifting, certain activities (tasks) that are normally performed by highly trained mental health care providers are redistributed to a non-professional workforce, or a workforce with limited training and scope of practice, often under the supervision of a highly trained professional. The relationship between internal migration and health outcome in China is important to investigate due to the large scale of mobilized population. Previous studies on internal migration and health in China were almost all conducted by using self-reported health status, rarely by using other health indicators. We aimed to examined the relationship by using Bejing’s vital statistics 2007-2012 to provide better evidence
